Jumping dog

We adopted a lab mixed breed female dog who is a joy, when the owner asked us to take her brother, we were thrilled. They are 6 months old, and he is a huge jumper. He jumps on everything, people, counters, the table, the couch. I have a 3 yr old, I'm scared he's going to hurt him. How can I stop this jumping?

Hi Ktighe52,
Congratulations on your new addition.
If you haven't committed to take the male dog, I strongly recommend not to take siblings. One 6 mos old puppy is handful, especially a lab pup
When you have 2 pups, it will be extremely hard to traing them because it is hard to get each one's attention. Labs will not get matured (mentally) until age of 2 sometimes but their bodies are getting bigger and bigger. I don't think you can handle 2 large dogs with your 3 yr old toddler.
I was just playing the mother hen but I would suggest you talk to someone who has a lot of experience or trainers.
The best way to add more dogs is to wait until you the human family and the first dog build a strong trusty relationship
